December 2016

December is always such a busy month and I try to hard to fit everything in and cherish every moment.  

The month started off with a combined trip to celebrate birthdays.  William and Margaret elected to go together this year and we went to the Discovery Center and then to Chuck-E-Cheese.

A special treat this December was a trip to Silver Dollar City.  A friend was kind enough to let us use her friend passes and we enjoyed such a fun night.  I was shocked at how much the kids LOVED all of the rides.  It was an evening that I will not forget for a long time.

I always try my best to keep up with an Advent Calendar.  I was not able to do it every day but the days that I did were lots of fun.  One of the activities is always going to Bass Pro to see Santa!

The kids both had Christmas parties at school.  Ms. Tiffany had her kids do a small performance and it was ADORABLE!!

My family is always so gracious to have Christmas a week or two early so that we can go to Michigan for the actual holiday.  We always load up lots of snacks and presents and head to my parents for gifts, fellowship, and brunch.

We always finish off the year with a week or so in Michigan.  Last year we did not get any snow so we were very excited when there was snow on the ground (even if only for a day or two).  We built a huge snowman, went on a hike, and the kids enjoyed sledding.
